Well, if I recall one of the core rulebooks (was it the Player's Guide? I'd have to check) mentioned that the upcoming elemental classes will have a feel very much like those in Avatar (they used the title of the show specifically). However, since those won't be out for another two years at...

Hmm... glad you like. Since I'm looking for suggestions (and you seem keen on the half-drow) what's your reasoning behind +2 Wisdom and Intelligence? Granted, +2 Constitution is a bit odd but I was looking for the flavor of half-elfs, with a twist given their dark heritage. So cunning would set...

If I recall correctly (and the Player's Handbook backs me up under their entry) eladrin aren't really a new race. It's just that wood elves and wild elves became a separate race (4e elves) from moon elves and sun elves (4e eladrin). So they're not really the same thing as the angelic, fey...

The monk's a very different class, feel-wise, from a fighter though. Rather than drawing their energy from training (ala fighter) a monk draws it from their soul. This, to me, fits Charisma-based a lot better than fighter-based powers which are Strength-based (rather than Wisdom or Dexterity...

Orc Scout “My blood is that of the orc clans but only the foolish think me unsubtle.” Prerequisite: Orc (or half-orc), striker role Slipping down from the wild, barren high country into the more civilized lands of the south, your task is not to fight enemy directly but rather gain valuable...

This is a great idea, as other have said! I'll see about working these into a playtest. However, one stands out to me as obtuse. That's the Halfling Bravo. Somehow, I don't see Charisma replacing Strength as the basis for combat powers like Tide of Iron or Cleave. Perhaps Dexterity, but...

The idea's not necessarily a bad one. Somebody else is trying something similar that's race-specific I believe. However, keep in mind that Wizards purposefully makes paragon paths not what you're looking for. They're goal with the tiers was to make plane-changing events the venue of the epic...

Having seen four half-orc homebrews in one day (including my own) I have to say that this is one of the better ones. I agree completely with the +2 Strength, +2 Wisdom, for the reasons you've already specified. As you said... how would a half-orc distinguish himself from his orc brethren...

You may not need this given the other suggestions, but I came up with my own homebrew a few weeks ago. http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?t=233928 However, the other ones look pretty good as well.

It looks good so far. I'd have to playtest it however to get a real feel for it. Thanks for the work. I'll let you know of any issues if there are any when I playtest it.

Excited as I am about 4th edition and many of its rule changes I was kind of surprised they cut out half-orcs and 3rd edition style half-elves (i.e., half-eladrin) out of the game. While I know that half-orcs were cut for "background" reasons and half-eladrin will likely make a later appearance...
